Short sales, financing challenges...lots of things are not like whatever we choose to remember as "the good old days". You learn to work smarter...new skills, new technology....new relationships with challenged homeowners who may be upside down....referrals for the mother, daughter. friend who may be a short sale candidate in another part of the country.
Figuring out what can turn out to complex even ...or maybe especially for first timers with smaller down payments, FHA requirements...etc., etc., etc.
What we know is this....when you can close the office door or put your head on the pillow and know that someone has a home because you spent the time to figure out the financing...Someone was saved from foreclosure because the skills you have closed a short sale...a first timer will get the $8000 tax credit that will make their day...month...year....and the happy tears fall...it is because you are proud and honored to be a part of an industry that we know is the best on earth...helping people achieve their dreams...go on with their lives...build or start their futures...is the best feeling on earth. For us, it comes with tears of gratitude and joy,,,and so it is.

It is a great feeling, isn't it, Sally & David? Thanks for saying it.
Maybe we should invest in a tissue company ? i am sure you are one of the leading causes of happy tears in Florida....and for that we all thank you !
Sally & David, You have summed it up so well. It's not about selling real estate, it's about people. May you be blessed in all your endeavors. With giving hearts like you have, you will be.. it will come to you. I also wish you great success on the opening of the new office.
Thank you Judi...I sometimes say that realtors keep the paper mills in business ....and that would include the tissues !
I am eagerly awaiting an opportunity to cry tears of joy over 5 successful short sales that I am working right now, if my head doesn't explode wtih frustration first!
We hear you Janna and promise it will be worth it....! If we can be of any help at any time with any thing..please call.
